The only thing I found was not the right dates.....Elizabeth Lewis, dau Lewis Lewis and wife Mary, m at Goshen M Amos Evans, 1745.l6.8 There is no mention of Amos or Philip in Futhey and Cope. S. I am searching for evidence of the marriage of Amos and Christiana AND for proof of her parents' marriage. Any leads will be much appreciated. Amos Evans b 1733 was a son of Philip of Aston Twp Chester Co Pennsylvania. Christiana b 1733-1735 is thought to be a daughter of William and Johanna Smith of Concord Twp[as of 1728]. Philip Evans (1705-1780)was a member of the Society of Friends. His children were Amos, Joshua, Elizabeth, Samuel, Hannah, and John. Who was Philip's wife? Known children of Amos and Christiana were: Ruth, Susanna, Philip, and Joshua. Amos remained a Friend for at least several years after settling in what is now Lancaster County. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
